ProCo 249: The Patron Saint of WikiLeaks – The Elf on the Shelf: Sweet Showdown

SHOW NOTES

Every year, Scout Elves appear in the homes of children to watch them, determine if they’re naughty or nice, and report back to Santa. At least that’s what parents want them to think. We three full grown Professional Contestants know better, and we also know how to leverage the same tactics against our opponents in this “sweet making” competition. You better watch out, you bette not cry, because this elf is a saint and your sins WILL be judged.

Zach is confounded by Catholicism, Jared got Grinched, and Adam really hates these elves.

Talking Points Include: Christmas Caper Turned Holiday Heist, Sweet Makers, The Elfs’ Arbitrary Rules, Throat Blessings, Saint Dog, Saint Elf, Saint Julian Assange

ProCo Episode 182: Donald Duck Hates Mercutio – Blown Away: Christmas

SHOW NOTES

For this episode, in the name of the holidays, we soldier on and talk in depth about the art of competitive glassblowing being unnecessarily converted into a Christmas special. But we also talk about what we really love, and that is debating which Disney character best represents famous hot headed Capulet – Tybalt.

Zach wonders the origin of the glassblowing furnace, Jared wants us to be mature about the glassblowing furnace, and Adam cannot be mature about the glassblowing furnace.

Talking Points Include: Christmas Stank, The Angelic Sonic, Pushing the Limits of Disney Bounding, Glassblowing Accessibility, Picnic Hookah, Staring Into the Glory Hole, Saving Baby Tiny Tim, Scrooge’s Big Beautiful Secret
